Krazy Kruizers Posted July 6, 2005 #1 Share Posted July 6, 2005 We have done several Alaskan cruises but believe it or not we have never been to Hubbard Glacier. We have done Glacier Bay National Park several times, Tracy Arm once and College Fjord several times. Do you think that Hubard Glacier is just as nice as Glacier Bay?

CruiseIsGood Posted July 6, 2005 #2 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Hubbard is pretty spectacular. It's one of the few advancing glaciers. Unfortunately, I don't have pics online, but you can search webshots. It dwarfs the glaciers in Glacier Bay. The calving is usually very good if your ship can get close enough, and when I was there, the ice from the calving lined the shore for miles. I've been to College Fjord, Glacier Bay and Hubbard. I wouldn't hesitate to book Hubbard again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Posted July 6, 2005 #3 Share Posted July 6, 2005 It doesn't matter how many glaciers you've seen or how close you've gotten before, spending time at the Hubbard is an awesome experience. I have a half-dozen shots from our May trip at the bottom of http://www.explorenorth.com/articles/alaskacruise2005/page2.html Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted July 6, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Thanks everyone. This afternoon while waiting for a carpenter to arrive we went over a couple of our Alaskan cruises and guess what? We discovered that we had been to Hubbard Glacier in 2003. We have some pictures but since we did that cruise in September, there wasn't much calving - temperatures too cool. We will be there in June and July - back-to-back cruises. We cruised Alaska during those times before and know the sun is higher and the glaciers calve more at that time of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
